Echezeaux 2013 Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a pure bouquet with minerally blackberry and raspberry scents, plus a light marine influence. The palate is surprisingly concentrated considering the growing season, thanks to it being the last vineyard picked on October 12 and the super-low yields of 16 hectoliters per hectare. It is endowed with impressive weight matched with a fine thread of acidity. There is a gentle grip in the mouth, but with the volume you might expect in a Richebourg on the finish. This is very promising - a quite ambitious Echézeaux in the making

From Schott Zwiesel ballons carefully rinsed with a mystery wine. Aroma soars out of the glass. Very fresh and delicate. Fresh, almost grassy with great lift and health. Lovely build towards the finish. The persistence is the thing. (JR)
